How to grow Super Silver
Taste
Seb's take
A stabilised backcross of Skunk, Northern Lights, and Haze, grown out into a nearly pure sativa that wants room to stretch. Picture-perfect, resin-rich buds form despite the plant's tolerance for damp conditions — good manners for a sativa, and reason for an outdoor grower to hold on late into the season.
Where it comes from
Dinafem Seeds built Super Silver as a feminized backcross, and stability was the whole aim of the exercise. The genetics amalgamate Skunk, Northern Lights and Haze, three cornerstones, and the backcrossing locks them into an incredibly stable line for every grower. The result is a nearly pure sativa at 90 per cent, one that wants adequate space to grow freely and will gladly take any space it is given. A dependable, uniform plant for a grower who values a line that behaves itself.
Nose & flavour
The record keeps its counsel on the specifics of the nose, so the honest reading leans on the lineage: Skunk brings pungency, Haze an incense-spiced brightness and Northern Lights a sweet, resinous depth, and the picture-perfect buds carry that heritage. Take it as a resin-rich, sativa-inflected aroma in keeping with its cornerstone parents, rather than any single note the record commits to naming.
The high
The record does not list the effects in detail, so temperament stands in for a catalogue. A near-pure sativa of this stock carries the bright, engaged character the type is known for, a lift rather than a settling. Take it as heady, uplifting company in keeping with its 90 per cent sativa makeup, the sort of effect that keeps the mind lively rather than sends the body to the armchair.
Growing it
A tall plant that wants room, reaching 450cm at full outdoor stretch, so growing fewer plants is essential to avoid crowding, and she will gladly fill whatever space you give her. Despite the sativa dominance, she resists high humidity well, which makes her a fine candidate indoors and out, and lets an outdoor grower hold on late into the season even as the weather turns. Flowering runs 70 to 80 days, the yield is a solid 500 g/m², and THC sits at 20 per cent. Good manners for a sativa, and reason to give her the headroom she asks for.
